The Jags' decision to spring for Justin Blackmon in the first round left them without the young defensive end that they'd sought.

Marshall's Vinny Curry is no Melvin Ingram or Quinton Coples, but the kid's a productive pass-rusher nonetheless, one who will strengthen Jacksonville's defense in the trenches.

This is where St. Louis' trades out of the second spot in the draft begin to pay dividends.

Say what you want about Sam Bradford as a quarterback, but his sophomore performance wasn't helped any by the paltry play of his offensive line in 2011. Not many quarterbacks could reasonably sustain getting sacked once every 10 or 11 plays and live to tell the tale.

In that regard (and others), Cordy Glenn is a tremendous value. He's versatile enough to play just about anywhere along the line, and though he's currently best suited to play inside, he could be groomed for a full-time switch to left tackle.

The Rams welcomed the Georgia product in for a visit before the draft, so their interest in him is well established.

Just because the Bills opted for an elite defender at No. 10 doesn't mean they don't still need help at offensive tackle. Bobby Massie should help to keep Ryan Fitzpatrick upright at some point in the near future.

The Dolphins rolled the dice with Ryan Tannehill at No. 8. Now, they'd better surround him with as many weapons as possible, especially after trading away Brandon Marshall in preparation for the failed pursuit of Peyton Manning.

Alshon Jeffery has the look of a great red-zone target, if not the consistency one would hope to see in a guy with first-round potential. In any case, he could be a solid security blanket for Tannehill before too long.

Scott Pioli continues to build the Chiefs from the inside out, this time by upgrading the offensive line with Amini Silatolu.

45. St. Louis Rams (via Cowboys): Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska

The Rams continue their reign over the 2012 draft, adding possibly their best pick yet with Lavonte David. The Nebraska product is a bit undersized for the position, but is tremendously productive, nonetheless. He was an absolute tackling beast during his days in Lincoln, with a tenacity and a nose for the ball that cared not for the trappings of his body.

He'll fit in quite well at weak-side linebacker for St. Louis, where he'll have the freedom to wreak havoc from sideline to sideline.

Which, sadly enough, means that the Bears will have to find a successor or two sooner or later.

Snagging Shea McClellin in the first round was a great start, and adding UNC's Zach Brown would be an even better way to continue that campaign. He's a 4-3 outside 'backer with the speed and athleticism to contribute on the blitz and drop into pass coverage with near-equal effectiveness.

Bottom line: the kid's a playmaker and would do well to take up the mantle for Chicago's legendary lineage of linebackers.

It's not every day that a team has the opportunity to draft a top-10 talent with the 54th pick.

And if the Lions have that chance, they'd do well not to let it pass them by.

Of course, Janoris Jenkins didn't fall this far without reason; his rap sheet of arrests and citations serves as a tidy "Exhibit A."

But there's no denying the dude's ability to play corner, or Detroit's dire need for someone who can. If the Lions can handle Ndamukong Suh's stupidity on the field, then surely they can find a way to cope with Jenkins' off of it.

Cordy Glenn

The Steelers were smart to opt for David DeCastro in the first round, but would be wise to upgrade their aging linebacking corps with Ronnell Lewis ASAP.

57. Denver Broncos: Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona State

Remember, Peyton Manning's coming off four neck surgeries in a span of less than two years. The Broncos will need a young quarterback like Brock Osweiler who can sit and learn behind Manning if he's healthy and step in at some point if he isn't.

You know what'll really make that investment in Alex Smith worthwhile? Adding a guard of Kelechi Osemele's mass to shore up the interior of the Niners' offensive line.

62. New England Patriots: Brandon Taylor, S, LSU

With a defensive lineman (Chandler Jones), a linebacker (Dont'a Hightower) and presumably a corner (Josh Robinson) already in the bag, all the Patriots need to do now to tighten up their defense is bring in a safety.

Because, you know, Julian Edelman isn't one.

Brandon Taylor certainly fits the bill. The LSU product isn't particularly big for the position (5'11", 190 pounds), but his speed, versatility and nose for the ball make him a great pick to man multiple spots in the secondary, if need be.
